A Romanian restaurant opens its doors in Paris. Not long after, the famous magazine Vogue adds it to its list of hot food spots in Paris and the idea of bringing Romanian cuisine to the French capital proves to be a real success. How did that happen?
Paris is the European city to go to for foodies. The French capital’s high interest in gastronomy is more than well known, the city offering both residents and visitors a wide variety of restaurants and foods, always staying up to date with the latest trends in gastronomy. That’s one reason why some may say that it’s tricky to open yet another restaurant in Paris, as the city’s offer covers most (if not all) of the world’s gastronomy – from American to Russian, Thai or Vietnamese. However, Ecaterina Paraschiv decided in 2018 that the French capital was ready to try the taste of Romanian food and opened a restaurant named Ibrik Kitchen there. And she won the bet.
